    Now it begins..2026 application season

    That is always the problem with Arizona. I hunted across the border in New Mexico a few weeks ago and it is hard to believe the animals can find anything to eat. It may stop some people from applying for a tag this year but age is a factor so I will apply for a tag. Question is what unit?

    Now it begins..2026 application season

    Thank you for your response to my post. I know the landscape you described is the problem with the unit. I have 16 points and since it only takes less then 10 to draw i would be wasting alot of my points. Not sure where to use them. Keep hoping for early season draw but know that is a...

    Now it begins..2026 application season

    Yes I have considered an outfitter. I have enough points to draw every unit for late season rifle except unit 1 and that unit I could possible draw. I always put in for early hunt hoping to get lucky in the random draw. My son did a late season hunt in unit 1 in 2023 and killed a 344...

    Now it begins..2026 application season

    Have any of you hunted unit 9 Late season in Arizona? Looking at this unit for 2026 season but have not hunted there before. What is a reasonable expectation for quality of bulls. I know it boarders the National Park and there are big bulls in there. Do many bulls stay in the unit...

    Greys River

    Where did you set up camp? Were there camps set up in Mink Creek? Must be local's hunting because of the time to draw a tag as n/r. You said there were several outfitters which never use to be the case.

    Greys River

    Congrats on a great hunt. Always loved that area to hunt but must be different now with all the people there. Did you fish the Grey"s for the cutthroat that are there?

    Donald Trump Jr. Illegal Hunting in Italy

    Why do we waste our time on this kind of story. If he did it then charge him like they would any of us and be done with it. I don't know if any of this is true but probably intended to shine a bad light on the Trump family.

    Wyoming point sharing

    Who did you use as a outfitter? What was the cost and was it worth it?

    Wyoming point sharing

    My son and I each have 10 non-resident points for elk. Wondering if there is anyone or group that would want to share points on application. I have no special area to hunt so would be open to suggestions.

    Non-resident cow elk

    Problem with Colorado is that I have 15 elk points and my son has 28 points. I like Ric, think that with the tag prices and the cost of a outfitter it just to expensive to hunt there. I have been hunting in Colorado since 1979 with years off when I drew tags in other states. Never have...

    Guided Elk Hunt

    Since you are a resident of Colorado I don't think my post will effect your's. I too would like help, as age is a factor for me as well. I have 15 nonresident points to use asap. Any help would be appreciated. Good Luck CC, I hope we both find a great opportunity.

    Packing and Heading out

    In the late 1980"s we were hunting at the head of the Greys River in Wyoming. It started raining during the night and temps were dropping. We had 50 miles of mountain road to get to the payment so decided to get out while we could. The rain switched to snow and kept up for a couple of...
